Meet the Team

Anna Renton

Director

Contact about enquiries to do with the Gallery’s funding, strategic direction, policies and financial matters.

I have chosen the painting French Crabbers by Harold Harvey. The stillness of the water, the masterful way that Harvey has painted the reflections and the beautiful use of colour makes it one of my favourites.

Katie Herbert

Curator/Deputy Director

Contact about the collections, exhibition and long-term loans or research projects.

My favourite thing about Penlee House is the painting Zandvoort Fishergirl by Elizabeth Forbes, because people said it looked like me when I was younger!

Sandra Paternotte

Administrator

Contact about bookings for group and school visits and Friends membership queries.

My favourite thing about Penlee House is the picture The Pied Piper of Hamelin by Elizabeth Forbes: I think she is a hugely underrated talent and often better than her more famous husband, Stanhope.

Zoe Burkett

Education Officer

Contact to discuss education visits, use of loan boxes, children’s workshops and outreach talks and learning activities.

My favourite thing about Penlee House is the archaeology gallery, particularly these Stone Age hand axes.  These are some of the oldest things on display in Penlee.  I love the tangible link they provide to our human ancestors.

David Trevivian

Visitor Services & Security Officer

Contact about volunteering at Penlee House and about security and front of house matters.

My favourite thing about Penlee House is the VC awarded to Joseph Trewavas, because it was one of the first ever awarded, made from the metal of captured Russian guns and given to this Mousehole man by Queen Victoria herself – that’s an amazing piece of history.

My favourite thing about Penlee House is the 1930s Railway Poster of Penzance where the sun is always shining!
